Pablo Armero: Not given up on the title yet

The re-emergence of Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani after an eight-game goalless streak has given Napoli renewed belief they can close down Juve's nine-point lead over the eight-game season run-in.

His brace decided a 3-2 victory over Atalanta before he scored twice from the bench to seal a 5-3 win at Torino last time out, with team-mate Armero now warning Juve to look over their shoulders.

Ahead of Sunday's visit of Genoa, he told La Repubblica: "Nothing is decided yet and maybe Juve will drop some points. All we can do is our best and try to win every game, starting with the one against Genoa.

"Of course I'm hoping to play from the very beginning, so I'm working as hard as I can to reach my top level.

"I'm at (coach Walter) Mazzarri's disposal and I hope I get the chance to prove what I can do, should he decide to start me."

Cavani, who is now one goal short of registering 30 for the season, thanked his colleagues for supporting him through two barren months.

"We are having a great season and we have emerged as protagonists," he said.

"I would like to thank the team for all the help they have given me - we all want to work together to achieve our goal."

Mazzarri has no injury or suspension concerns against 17th-placed Genoa, who were beaten 6-1 at the San Paolo last season before two subsequent meetings yielded 11 goals.
